Dropout, New Tetris Clone Released for the VIC-20!

Tetris is a tile-matching puzzle video game, designed and programmed by Russian game designer Alexey Pajitnov. It was originally released on June 6, 1984, and was the first entertainment software to be exported from the USSR to the US, where it was published by Spectrum HoloByte for Commodore 64 and IBM PC. Most of you probably remember it as a release title with the original Game Boy console in 1989.

Fast forward to the year 2016 and here we have another clone of Tetris but this time in VIC-20 form! Dropout is tuned for fast play and implements many block game features that were not yet common in the original version of Tetris.

Four game modes:
[F1] Standard Long Play – start slow, level up to insane speeds
[F3] 40 Lines – clear 40 lines as fast as possible, under a minute is great
[F5] 2-Minute Challenge – score as many points as you can in 2 minutes
[F7] Master Mode – start at level 15, if you make it to level 24 you’re good
